Cost of Protecting Nuclear Power Plants (1987 attitude)

CLICK TO ENLARGE: The above is an old Leyse Memorandum from 1987. At the time, there was very little consideration of terrorism as threat to nuclear power plants.

Here is the text of the handwritten reply ( a bit more easily read).

Bob,

Thanks for your note. Protecting power plants and other facilities against terrorism is a much larger topic than I could hope to address in the Journal article. Although nuclear plants are the largest risk in terms of damage potential I would not think that a well designed security system (like at North Dakota missile sites) would be prohibitively expensive. However, I have not really looked at it in detail.
